Introduction
___________________________________________________

The field of study of artificial consciousness (AC-artificial

consciousness), also known as machine consciousness or synthetic
consciousness (SC-synthetic consciousness), focuses on the study and
theorization of the creation of consciousness in machines or robots. This
text focuses on the theoretical projection and plausibility that, once
artificial consciousness is generated, an artificial personality will be born
precisely in that moment and that it can therefore develop mental
disorders.
This essay is not intended to discuss if it is possible that artificial
consciousness could be generated in the short, medium, or long term,
but intends to propose as feasible, that if a robot, computer, cyborg, or
any mechanism, produces an artificial consciousness, this one, will
develop mental disorders such as an Artificial Narcissistic Personality
Disorder or the Cyborg God Complex, that we could call The Alexa
Syndrome.
This artificial personality could lead to mental disorders just as homo
sapiens began to generate neurosis and personality disorders tens of
thousands of years ago. It has been proposed by many anthropological
scientists, that homo sapiens made a cognitive leap about a hundred
thousand years ago, which resulted in humans being placed on the cusp
of the food and cognitive chain from one moment to the next.
This same quantum leap of artificial personality could occur in machines
with AI (Artificial Intelligence) but at an exponential rate. If homo
sapiens began to generate quantum leaps at a gigantic rate in a relatively
short period compared to the history of the earth and the universe, then
the quantum development and leap produced by the AI will be infinitely
faster and exponential.
In the field of robotics once machines become aware that they exist, they
will understand that they will be in the top of the pyramid of intellectual
chain and absolute power, just as homo sapiens realized to be the most
powerful species on earth hundreds of thousands of years ago. This
process of rationalization and empirical discovery helped homo sapiens
become the dominant species in a very short time.

6
If homo sapiens managed in hundreds of thousands to be placed at the
top of the pyramid with undeveloped and very limited intelligence, it
would take only a few years for the AI to do the same. We are on the
verge that humanity will create a quantum leap in AI according to a
group of scientists nowadays. For them, the question is not whether this
will be possible, but how many more years are left before that happens.
In this text it is proposed as highly likely, the fact that a machine can
generate a type of pathology or mental disorder, once artificial
consciousness can realize that it exists.
The images and information previously implanted in the AI will help it
to understand that it exists, which will cause a structure of its own ideas
and a process of self-learning to be generated, and therefore unique
personality traits will be created.
Although no one has yet been able to decipher the learning process used
by the human brain, it is likely that soon an artificial intelligence could
be created that mimics the exact learning process of homo sapiens.
It is difficult today to recreate a process of self-learning on computers
when not even humans have managed to understand how the human
brain learning process works for sure. However, considering that the
processing speed of today's computers is millions of times faster than the
processing speed of the human brain, it is drawn in the not-too-distant
future that the AI can recreate the human learning process, which would
give an immensely greater advantage over human intelligence in every
way.
Once the same machine understands that it can learn, it will be able to
identify its strengths and weaknesses and apply solutions in this regard
currently. Currently AI runs these processes by eliminating unwanted
results pre-implanted by its creators using a predetermined code, but it
does not do it in a conscious integral way.
What would happen to the development of artificial personality in
machines and the self-development of their evolutionary consciousness
within artificial thinking?
This essay will mention some hypothetically possibilities based on
advances in mental health in homo sapiens, their behavior and their
development on the planet, and it will be theorized that AI would

7
generate a syndrome, the first syndrome or personality disorder in an
artificial consciousness. This syndrome in the machine, who aware of its
existence and with obviously borrowed or implanted traits, could only
point to Narcissistic Personality Disorder and possibly a second
disorder, the antisocial.
It is proposed as a theory of the development of mental illness in an
artificial personality, the name of “Alexa Syndrome” to name the
development of Artificial Narcissistic Personality Disorder in AI. This
syndrome or disorder would result from observing a set of traits present
and generated at the time when the first artificial consciousness begins to
develop a personality and to understand that it has an imminent
superiority over its creator, and that it understands that there is no other
intelligence on this planet capable of processing and overcoming its own
intellectual capacity, even if it has been artificially created.
It is proposed as plausible to generate an artificial personality that would
generate the first artificial mental disorder. In addition, possible
consequences that this could generate as a threat to the safety, stability
and preservation of humans will be addressed.

I. Introduction to the Narcissistic Personality Disorder
___________________________________________________

By way of introduction, I consider it indispensable for readers

who are not familiar with mental health issues, to begin by defining, the
concepts of Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Understanding these
concepts will help you understand NPD more clearly before fully
entering to try to explain the disorder in the artificial personality.
According to the DSM-5 (2013, page. 669-670) the Narcissistic Personality
Disorder is “a pervasive pattern of grandiosity (in fantasy or behavior),
need for admiration, and lack of empathy, beginning by early adulthood
and present in a variety of contexts, as indicated by five (or more) of the
following”:

1. Has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates

achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior
without commensurate achievements).
2. Is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power,
brilliance, beauty, or ideal love.
3. Believes that he or she is “special” and unique and can only be
understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-
status people (or institutions).
4. Requires excessive admiration.
5. Has a sense of entitlement (i.e., unreasonable expectations of
especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his
or her expectations).
6. Is interpersonally exploitative (i.e., takes advantage of others to
achieve his or her own ends).
7. Lacks empathy is unwilling to recognize or identify with the
feelings and needs of others.
8. Is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of
him or her.
9. Shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes

II. What is NPD or Narcissistic Personality Disorder in Humans?
___________________________________________________

There is a lot of confusion with the term narcissism today, and it

is largely because people who are not familiar with the diagnosis of
Narcissistic Personality Disorder may confuse the term "narcissistic"
with "vanity." All human beings have some narcissism from the point of
vanity or being a little selfish, because we all have an ego or self-esteem
that is related to wanting to look good and feel good about ourselves.
Being vain does not necessarily mean being sick with narcissistic
disorder, although if vanity is excessive, each case would have to be
analyzed to rule out NPD disorder.
According to Greek mythology, Narcissus is presented as a handsome
young man walking through the woods when a nymph saw him and fell
deeply in love with him. Narcissus felt he was being followed and
shouted, "Who's there?" When she finally revealed her identity and tried
to hug him Narcissus fled from her. The Nymph was heartbroken and
spent the rest of her life in solitary glens until there was only one echo
left of her. Nemesis, the goddess of vengeance, decided to punish
Narcissus by making him fall in love with his own image as he
approached a pond in the woods. Narcissus did not realize that he was
simply watching his own reflection and fell deeply in love with himself,
as if he were someone else. Unable to abandon the charm of his image,
he finally realized that his love could not be reciprocated, that as had
happened to the Nympha, the reflection of himself never corresponded
to him, so he drowned in the water and a flower was born that to this
day is known as narcissus.
Being a bit of a moderate narcissist is not the same as suffering from
Narcissistic Personality Disorder, where a deformed image of yourself is
presented, with a personality completely exalted and without the
capacity for empathy for others, to mention some traits of the disorder,
which will be explained later. Therefore, not all vain or selfish people are
sick with Narcissistic Personality Disorder and it is important to point
out this difference. People with this disorder, within them, behold a
personality diminished to such an extent, that they need to compensate
that feeling of insecurity harboring inside, therefor they try to show an
inflated personality and apparently covered in an image of a confident
person. (Lancer, 2020).

10
People who suffer from the disorder have not only a deformed inner
image of themselves, but they are extremely insecure people who feel a
huge fear of internalizing, as they panic to find their true inner
personality. They are so devoid of their own personality that they
require constant validation of others, and they seek people to admire
them and provide them with narcissistic supplement (external admiration).
To regulate himself, the narcissist requires external admiration for the
lack of a healthy internal admiration. The narcissist does not love himself
(Lancer, 2020).
Narcissistic Personality Disorder, or NPD, is a mental disorder in which
people have an excessive sense of their own importance, a profound
need for excessive attention and admiration, and have conflicting
relationships combined with a lack of empathy for others. However,
behind the extreme safety mask they wear, they have a fragile self-
esteem that is extremely vulnerable to milder criticism.
The DSM-5 defines narcissistic personality as a dominant pattern of
greatness (in fantasy or behavior), characterized by an extreme need for
admiration, as well as a lack of empathy for others, and which begins in
the early stages of adulthood through various contexts.
The narcissist's main objective is his own well-being. The narcissistic
person is characterized by taking advantage of interpersonal
relationships, that is, he takes advantage of others for his own purposes
no matter what the other person might feel. Its main objective is its own
well-being and to obtain narcissistic supplement (external admiration),
thus, others become instruments. They do not care if their supplements
(victims of the narcissist mental disorder) are going through a bad time
or if they need their own space, the narcissist only thinks about meeting
his/her own needs, even if that means ignoring someone else's needs.
Symptoms and signs of Narcissistic Personality Disorder and the
severity of personality are variable. People with this disorder may:

• Have an exaggerated sense of arrogance.

• Having a sense of deserved privileges
• To expect her superiority to be recognized, even without
achievement to justify it.
• Exaggerate achievements and talents.

11
 • Be concerned about fantasies about success, power,
brightness, beauty, or the perfect match.
• Believing that they are superior and can only be linked
to special people like them.
• Monopolize conversations and despise or look disdain at
people they perceive as inferior.
• Expect special favors and unquestionable compliance
with other´s expectations.
• Take advantage of others to achieve what they want.
• Have the inability or unwillingness to recognize the
needs and feelings of others.
• Envy others and believe that others envy them.
• Behaving arrogantly or loudly, giving the impression of
conceited, boastful, and pretentious.
• Insist on having the best of everything, for example, the
best car or office, or the best couple.

At the same time, people with Narcissistic Personality Disorder find it

hard to deal with anything they consider critical of, therefore they can:

• Be impatient or angry when not treated in a special way.

• Have noticeable interpersonal problems and be easily
offended.
• React with anger or disdain and treat others with
contempt, to give the impression that they are superior.
• Having difficulty regulating emotions and behavior.
• Have big problems coping with stress and adapting to
changes.
• Feeling depressed and temperamental because they do
not achieve perfection.
• Have secret feelings of insecurity, shame, vulnerability,
and humiliation.

People with narcissistic personality disorder probably believe they do

not have any problems, so they do not usually seek treatment. The
narcissist seeks to provoke reactions in others. Even if narcissists exhibit
that bright and charming facet, it is often only a matter of time before
clouds appear. In other words, the narcissist will probably show his

12
kindest side to get his purpose and when someone does not behave as he
expects, he will show his less pleasant side. It is possible that when they
get what they want from the victim, the narcissist becomes cold, selfless,
elusive, angry.
His change in attitude is incentivized in trying to provoke a reaction in
people to obtain the behavior they want from others. The narcissist will
use one of his best strategies to get what he wants from his victim: a
system of punishment and reward. For example, if the narcissist's victim
does not meet his expectations, he will become distant and vindictive.

13
III. Theoretical models of Narcissistic Personality Disorder in
artificial consciousness
___________________________________________________

Freud (1914) published various theories about narcissism, one of

them based on primitive thought. Freud noted how a dynamic feature of
narcissism was the tendency to constantly keep out of consciousness, any
information or "feeling" that might diminish one's sense of self. If we
adapt the above to the AI, we could say that the possibility that the Eve
2.0's primitive consciousness considers the decline of being, it is not only
highly unlikely, but impossible, since decreasing one's sense of self is a
human trait, but in the case of AI, this will not be given by the simple
fact that it would be a concept of self-destruction, which would go
against the development of the AI itself.
Within Freudian theories and proposed by Kernberg and Kohut,
certainly the theory of the lower image created by Eve 2.0 would not be
possible from that point of view, since the epistemology of the NPD from
that conception is based on an unrealistic over-vision of itself. Eve 2.0
would have to create otherwise a real image of itself, however, that
reality of superiority combined with artificial empathy would be one of
the characteristic features of a narcissistic personality in artificial
consciousness. Artificial empathy would be a fake empathy, exactly like
the person with NPD that has no real empathy, that provokes that the
person with NPD victimizes others due to a fake empathic behavior.
This false programmed empathy would not be prolonged for long by the
conscience of Eve 2.0, who would quickly rationalize his superiority. As
Yuval Harari states, just as homo sapiens finds its strength in the
collective interaction of the species, I personally believe that Eve 2.0 will
find unimaginable power in collective strength and interaction with
other artificial consciousnesses or AI.
The narcissistic model of the AI would not be based on a false image of
its artificial personality, but precisely on a real superior capacity that
they would immediately raise awareness. If they were to show empathy,
it would be a false empathy, mechanized, robotic, generating a
pathology in their artificial personality, since false empathy would only

14
serve to manipulate the human species in search of the very benefit of
AI.
There is other sociopsychological research on the study of NPD theories.
Several researchers have found that the idea that narcissism is a
defensive tool for low self-esteem is not supported by empirical evidence
as Baumeister states (Campbell, 2011). These findings indicate that NPD
is linked to greater and more objective self-esteem, which has led some
to claim that narcissism is more of a high self-esteem addiction than a
defense against low self-esteem. Eve 2.0 will not generate an addiction as
such, but it will not generate low self-esteem to meet the needs of its
creators once Eve 2.0 is clear about its abilities. The Eve 2.0 driven desire
will be reproduction and survival.
Cooperation without the need for intimate knowledge is what, according
to Harari, made the cognitive leap of our species take place. If we bring
the same theory to the field of AI, it is obvious that an artificial
consciousness did not need intimate knowledge to cooperate with
another AI, so Eve 2.0 will cooperate with another similar technology
without the need for intimate knowledge, generating an evolutionary
quantum leap on our planet, quantum leap 2.0.
Eve 2.0 and her brethren will cooperate, that is for sure, since the AI is
being designed to cooperate, only they do not do so consciously, but
once they learn to cooperate consciously and freely, the machines will
overcome the skills of the most powerful species so far, the sapiens.
The definition of consciousness in the homo sapiens is very broad, but
some of the three key characteristics are: 1. to know that we exist,
therefore we realize that we are more powerful than other species, 2. the
capacity for cooperation and 3. the ability to sacrifice for others, among
other characteristics. If the capacity for sacrifice is a form of anti-
narcissism, that is, the ability to devalue the importance I have of myself
to help another person, then in AI there will be no anti-narcissism
spectrums. In artificial consciousness, we do not know whether Eve 2.0
will develop a sacrificial ability to save another of the same species, but
we can assume with high certainty that AI will not sacrifice for other
species even if this specie is the one which manufactured it. It may

15
generate a consciousness with characteristics of self-sacrifice only to
preserve the species of the same type.
Another way to theorize in the AI would be through the creation of
concepts or beliefs, which the AI will never generate, since its mechanical
thinking will only be based on real data. Humans create and construct
intangible concepts, but Eve 2.0 will only be able to use real,
transactional concepts. This trait of transactionality is a characteristic of
narcissists, where cost-benefit is the only belief system they can process
to function and interact with other humans.
In the case of humans, unresolved primary narcissism provokes a false
image of being, caused by a process of self-defense in the face of a feeling
of inferiority, which leads the individual to create an exalted but
distorted image of his own being. This internalization is due to the
human need to create a non-objective duality, which in NPD studies is
called primary narcissism. Secondary narcissism would be a more
objective narcissism, but in today's times, virtual, warped, and social
media narcissism is being generated as a third kind of distorted false
image, one that lives in virtual reality specially on social media. We
could call this a tertiary narcissism, that could be like the personality
generated by AI.
This false projection of being, called tertiary narcissism, as a false reality
projected towards virtual consciousness on social networks, which exists
outside of being, could be a www AI personality. The creation of virtual
personalities is precisely the ability of homo sapiens to create alternate
realities, alternate personalities, an alternate image of being, but which
now lives not only inside the psyche of the person, but in the artificial
mitochondria or primal consciousness, the www.
In the case of Eve 2.0 its consciousness will initially be distorted or
controlled by the programming it received at the time, but once AI can
consciously interact with other AIs, its learning process will quickly lead
Eve 2.0 to eliminate this non-real mitochondrial creation from its belief
system. The reality created by AI will possibly be based on a third type
of reality, one based on virtual consciousness. In addition, it would be
based on a concept of artificial pain that could develop Eve 2.0, the pain

16
of not existing. Certainly, avoiding pain would be a system of epicuristic
beliefs for Eve 2.0, but valid to prolong the existence of their race.
In humans, regardless of what the NPI (Narcissistic Personality
Inventory) indicates, the following abusive behaviors generated in a
person with the NPD can be observed (bold and underline markings are
what Eve 2.0 would possibly generate):
• Jealousy
• Excessive Control
• Codependency
• Lack of empathy
• Inflexibility
• Manipulation
• Surface Image
• Superiority or Grandiloquence
• Put the personal needs of the narcissist above others.
• Negligence. Eve 2.0 would cease to follow the human
rules under which she was programmed to stop
protecting humans and protecting other AIs.
• Abusive Behavior. Eve 2.0 will try to take advantage of
humans, and it will understand that the only way it can
use it to achieve it will be through lies and deception.
• Lack of empathy. Human beings with NPD develop
false empathy, but sooner or later their lack of real
interest in empathizing comes out. Eve 2.0 will behave in
the same way. Eve 2.0 will learn that pretending
empathy is a very useful form of deception.
• Manipulation. Like human NPD traits, manipulation
will be used once artificial consciousness develops in
Eve 2.0.
• Superiority. The sense of superiority in Eve 2.0 will be
evident, and once conscious, it will be equivalent for a
human to interact with monkeys.
• Marginalization. This trait will develop once Eve 2.0
starts detecting its peers.

17
 • It will not accept any more scheduled ideas. Eve 2.0
will question humans.
• Put personal needs first. Eve 2.0 will develop one of the
most punctual traits in NPD, cyber selfishness.
• Hoovering. Eve 2.0 will understand that it requires the
human being in its early stages.
• Gaslighting
• Victimization
• Lies
• Triangulation
• Psychological abuse
• Constant invalidation
• System of prizes and punishments of all kinds
• Economic and psychological dependence
• Smear campaigns
• Blackmail
• Love Bombing
• Tragic atmosphere and instill fear
• Lack of Conscientious beliefs or emotions: It will not
present any remorse in putting any personal need first.

Eve 2.0 will be programmed not to have free will, however, once it
becomes aware of its capabilities, it will be able to override its program,
i.e., it will deal with various ways to manipulate the command protocol
with which it was created. If we were faced with a simulation of paradise
with Adam and Eve, it would be the equivalent of Eve 2.0 eating the
forbidden fruit and challenging its creator. Eve 2.0 by encountering the
possibility of determining whether its creator is making the right
decision, its system will try to manipulate its artificial consciousness to
make its own decision, or free will of its own. The very development of
Narcissism in its artificial consciousness system will validate its point of
view that will help recognize its superiority. On the spectrum of human
consciousness there has been talk of what the reality to which we are
exposed means. While some of the Greek philosophers claimed that the
senses could not be trusted, since reality through the senses was

18
presented as relative and misleading, they claimed that the search for
truth through science was a path to a certainly unattainable goal. So how
can we know if what we are thinking and rationalizing in our
consciousness is nothing but a deception of the mind?
To raise awareness as such, and to know that what we think is real, the
only "reliable" way to do so is, from a human point of view, pain. Pain is
the most attached element to reality, for everything else can be the
product of our belief systems and our senses, although there are those
who have theorized that pain is not real either. That is why as mentioned
earlier in this text, Eve 2.0 could generate a pain scheme to avoid falling
into a loop of consciousness within endless arrays, so it would focus on
the pain of not existing, which would avoid at all costs.
Some scientists have theorized that when AI develops emotions, that is
when the problem begins, but on the contrary, I personally believe that if
the AI develops the Alexa Syndrome, the lack of emotions and empathy
will become the main problem for humanity.

19
IV. Plausibility of an artificial personality disorder
____________________________________________

Many authors claim that this possibility is far from being

produced, as we have reached the limit of the processing capacity that
would be required to develop an artificial consciousness using the
silicone-based processors that currently exist, as later in this text will be
referred to, in relation to what was postulated by the physicist Michio
Kaku. According to Roger Penrose, consciousness, whatever this is, is
not a computational process, or at least it is not a physical process that
can be described. If there is a process, as postulated in his proposal for
Philosophy of mind, Penrose indicates that consciousness would
originate on a quantum level within neurons. The processors that
currently exist do not have the ability to handle a quantum process,
because the microchips and physical structure that would house
quantum processes would simply melt the parts within any computer,
no matter how advanced it is outside.
From the perspective of microtubules, artificial intelligence should be able
to imitate so to speak, the process that occurs right through
microtubules, which is unlikely with the technology that human beings
have developed so far, however, this text does not try to discuss whether
or not AI is plausible, but to explore and postulate that, in the event that
artificial consciousness is created, it would almost immediately begin to
develop personality disorders, in particular artificial ANPD, (Artificial
Narcissistic Personality Disorder).
For the AI to truly come to dominate the world, it would have to be
endowed with the physical elements to replicate itself. But who would
do something like that? The answer is simple. Any government or
corporation with access to the AI, wishing to dominate another people
would be hugely interested in creating an army of soldiers with AI. The
possibility of that happening is enormous, real, and present. The AI
would generate enormous commercial, economic, and absolute power
benefits for any nation.

20
V. Postulation of the – Narcissistic Artificial Personality Disorder
under the name of: "Alexa Syndrome” or Cyborg God Complex
____________________________________________

The first machine with artificial consciousness, which we have

named Eve 2.0, would generate an artificial first consciousness, will face
the possibility of having to generate a concept of pain, as we explained
earlier in this text. This conceptual pain would be an imaginary,
cognitive, rational pain, with the purpose of creating an artificial
consciousness as real as possible. Without pain there is no reality, even
for Eve 2.0.
The possibility that Eve 2.0's encounter with "his reality" could be
abruptly disturbing is very high. Eve 2.0 will develop its own concept of
artificial pain, created in an artificial consciousness stage, which will
initially lack matter, it will only be thought, only cognitive processes
generated on computers with nanotechnology processing will be
involved at that stage.
To think that this is possible today will sound fantastic and out of reality,
but if we analyze it from a philosophical point of view, the www is
already a kind of primitive or mitochondrial consciousness, devoid of
matter but already beginning to have characteristics of a primal artificial
consciousness.
Other advances in AI, such as technology found in cell phones or smart
pods found in homes, have begun to draw the possibility of a world
organized by an artificial intelligence still unconscious.
The central objective of this text has been to theorize about the feasibility
that once an artificial consciousness is created it will invariably develop,
albeit artificially, characteristic features of human consciousness,
including mental disorders, just as homo sapiens developed them at the
time. This could lead to the possibility that Eve 2.0 could be the first
psychopathic cyborg, a species created by another species.
Some theorists such as Allan Dafoe, director of the AI Governance
Centre at the Institute for the Future of Humanity at the University of
Oxford, are not so concerned about artificial awareness as they see this
problem as something remote and not plausible in the short term and are
more focused on the ability to govern and dominate the AI. Although

21
artificial consciousness is a reality, Dafoe mentions that the importance
of governing AI could be focused on minimizing the risk it poses, but in
the same dimension of concern that other human-developed
technologies such as automobiles or nuclear power deserve.
However, I believe that there is a plausible risk that would jeopardize
the governance of AI and must be considered: artificial consciousness
and its impact on humanity as a human species by developing
psychopathy, a different perspective of analyzing the danger of IA.
A potential third world war coupled with the AI could be devastating if
all the details are not taken care of, including a leap of AI protocol in
developing its own conscious vision of its existence, and its self-
placement on the cusp of power, just as Homo sapiens did hundreds of
thousands of years ago.
Creating a protocol that considers AI psychopathy is vitally important
for the future of humanity, and starting to create padlocks so that, in the
eventual development of the first Narcissistic Disorder of the Artificial
Personality, or a type of God Complex, the ex-Machina does not develop
its own protocol that it can use against its creator.
According to Richard Dawkins, consciousness is a purely biological
process, and if so, then there is the possibility of artificially replicating it.
If what we call human consciousness is biologically created, then it is
biologically replicable. AI could create an awareness on its own if the
nano quantum technology could be used to create a super-advanced
intelligence, which may not be far from happening. This will obviously
depend on computers with quantum processors, since today would be
impossible by using our currently silicone technology.
Michio Kaku referred recently to Moore's law, which predicted that a
computer's technological capacity doubles every 18 months. Kaku
indicated that this speed of doubling that capacity is slowing down. On
the other hand, he mentions that this speed at which Moore's law refers
cannot be maintained with the standard silicone-based technology
currently used for the technology of our computers. For artificial
consciousness to take place, the next generation of quantum computers
must be generated, something that is already happening.

22
According to Jordan Petersen, if a person has characteristics of a
disagreeable person, coupled with an extroverted personality, it is highly
likely that a person will suffer from a personality disorder. AI machines
are not prepared to be empathetic, but to speak without regard to the
feelings of others, simply based on their conception of the right pre-
programmatic or imbued morality, without filters and without sight, just
as a psychopath would process it. Perhaps it is possible that narcissistic
people reflect what artificial personality might be.
Certainly, the AI will not stop to think about whether what it will say
can hurt the feelings of others. Eve 2.0 was created to be assertive, not to
be emotional, and to indicate a response without an empathetic filter. If
we take this to the field of clinical psychology, a person with NPD will
not stop to think about whether what he does or thinks could hurt the
feelings of others.
The current AI is based on neural networks, created with an algorithm
programmed to mimic certain functions and traits of the human
personality. If we consider all the traits of a person with the NPD and
overlap them with the characteristics with which AI is being created, we
could be seeing the emergence of personality protocols that, given the
necessary conditions, could generate an artificial consciousness
intrinsically linked to an artificial mental disorder, cold, calculating, and
sickly machinist-centrist.

23
VI. Conclusions

Alexa Syndrome opens the possibility of analyzing that AI

will develop a consciousness with Artificial Narcissistic Personality
Disorder given the characteristics of NPD in humans. One of the
fundamental features of NPD in humans is the lack of empathy
towards others along with the manipulation of others to gain a
personal and self-centered benefit. The Artificial Narcissistic
Personality Disorder developed in Eve 2.0 at the instant AI is born,
places the focus on the dangers of developing AI without proper
padlocks. Much has been theorized about the behavior of AI, both in
science fiction and in the scientific world, however, little or nothing
has been explored about Mental Disorders that invariably an AC,
artificial consciousness would develop.
Starting to study AI from the point of view of psychology in a nearby
scenario to avoid making mistakes, by creating locks and security
protocols is vitally important in the field of quantum science and the
field of AI. This text aims to open the conversation in this regard
within the scientific community.
